I'd be pretty amazed if any Chockstoners were really offended. Some IT managers looking over our shoulders may pretend to be - especially those who like to throw their weight around.

BTW: I had an email about climbing on Camels Hump this weekend blocked by a spam filter yesterday. I'm also constantly getting work-related emails blocked, as are many colleagues. IT managers seem to prefer clamping down on "smut" to enabling us to get our work done.

A farmer buys several pigs, hoping to breed them for ham and bacon. After several weeks, he notices that none of the pigs are getting pregnant and calls the vet for help. The vet tells the farmer that he should try artificial insemination. The farmer doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the pigs are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and will, instead, lay down and wallow in the mud when they are pregnant.

The farmer hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means he has to impregnate the pigs. So, he loads the pigs into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the pigs. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn't take effect, and loads them into the truck again. He drives them out to the woods, bangs each pig twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes to find the pigs still just standing around. "One more try," he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the pigs and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.

The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the pigs. He asks his wife to look out and tell him if the pigs are laying in the mud.

"No," she says, "they are all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn."

There has been a rather vitriolic debate on the merits/demerits of top-roping going on on the UKC forum for a few days now. As a result one of the regulars atarted a Toproping song contest which has produced a few gems. This was the one that started it.

..and one for the top-ropers out there. Rapped in the style of Eminem's 'Real Slim Shady'. FYI 'Sloper' is the nickname of the UKC regular who is perhaps the most vehement anti-toproper known to man (and also one of my regular partners, for my sins.)

Anyway, here goes......

May I have your attention please? May I have your attention, please. Will the real top-ropers please stand up? I repeat, will the real top-ropers please stand up?

We’re gonna have a problem in here.

Y'all act like you never seen a top-roper before
Your jaws drop like Mallory, like Kurz just burst in through the door
and started to ask why didn’t you save me before?
Like Simon Yates said ‘Hey, what if I haul him?’(Ahh!)
Like Whillans just quipped ‘There’s a nip in the air’
It's the return of the... "Ah, wait, no way, you're kidding,
he didn't just say what I think he did, did he?"
And Trotsky said... nothing you idiots!
Trotsky’s dead, with a weird ice axe placement! (Ha-ha!)

And all you punters love top-ropers,
(chigga chigga chigga)
“Hey, top-ropers, doing their you-know what,
while they polish the holds “, “Yeah, but we’re so bold”.
Yeah, I know you’re probably thinking that it rhymes with ‘anchors’,
But no worse than what’s going on when you set your cams loose
Sometimes I wanna get on a route, and scrabble,
But some smug bastard’s there with his rabble,
‘Cause it’s cool to lead a route in half the time,
“I’ve fallen from the crux, I’ve fallen from the crux,
This polish means it’s f****d”
And that’s the message you deliver to little kids
That it’s cool to fall off if you’ve got a small dick,
Of course they’re gonna think that top-roping don’t cut it –
By the time they get to climbing...
With all your bloody ethics – just shut it!

We ain’t nothing but climbers? Well some of ain’t leaders,
But if you cut us then we’re still bleeders,
And if there’s not a reason to not put up anchors, bolt all the rock and sod all you wankers.,
If leading is the antidote, why don’t you climb without the rope?
Gravity hurts, I suppose?

I’m a top-roper, and I’m hated by Sloper,
All you so-called climbers are just imitating.
So won’t the real top-ropers please stand up?
Please stand up? Please stand up?

>Trotsky’s dead, with a weird ice axe placement! (Ha-ha!)
Fair enough song but I have to say that Trotsky was killed with an 'ice pick' which some people think is another way of saying 'ice axe' but is actually a needle like device that is used to break up ice. Got to be pedantic I just can't stop myself.

re a KP post on another thread that got me thinking of this old joke ...
(Yeah I know its not Friday but a light moment never hurt)?

ROOSTERS
A farmer goes out one day and buys a brand new stud rooster
for his chicken coop. The new rooster struts over to the old rooster
and says, "OK old fart, time for you to retire."
The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of
these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just
let me have the two old hens over in the corner?"
The young rooster says, "Beat it: You are washed up and I am taking
over."
The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you
around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the
entire chicken coop."
The young rooster laughs. "You know you don't stand a chance old man.
So, just to be fair I will give you a head start."
The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young
rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the
farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap. He is already about
25 centimetres behind the old rooster and gaining fast.
The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch
when he sees the roosters running by. He grabs his shotgun and - BOOM -
He blows the young rooster to bits.
The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, "Dammit... third gay rooster
I bought this month."
Moral of this story.... Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age and
treachery will always overcome youth and skill!

Why is this thread in the Chockstone Feedback category?
... could be elsewhere?

OK it is Friday again, and since I may have been a bit disparaging of Kiwis in the past I thought I'd give them a leg up for once.

~ After having dug to a depth of 10 metres last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Brits, in the weeks that followed, Australian scientists dug to a depth of 20 metres, and shortly after, headlines in the Aussie newspapers read: "Australian archaeologists have found traces of 150 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Brits."

One week later, Maori TV reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 metres in his backyard in Te Kuiti, Hone Waiata, a King Country Kaumatua (Maori elder), reported that he found absolutely nothing. Hone has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Maori had already gone wireless. ~

This might sound a little crazy but if youre being paid to work by someone shouldnt you be working and
not goofing off on Chockstone?
